A context file contains statements which assign values to the various attributes comprising a context. This file may also contain comment lines and blank lines. A statement is used in the context file to assign a value to a particular context attribute. A hyphen may be used in the last character position of a line to continue a statement on the following line. Several of the statements that may appear in a context file are similar to DCL commands; however, the syntax of these statements is more restrictive than that of DCL. Note that a context file is automatically generated when you save a context via the Environment Manager's graphical user interface.
